New Ute: Hanna Terry goes to Sweden to prepare for next fall

It was a great adventure this week to get new Utah forward Hanna Terry to sign and turn in her National Letter of Intent (NLI). You see Hanna is currently in Sweden. Her mom is in Aspen on a ski week...and the logistics of getting signatures and faxes in has been a challenge..but it's done and now official...Hanna has joined the team!

Hanna is a fast and skillful attacker. She can beat defenders on the dribble, with a pass or just by running by them. Hanna (along with fellow New Ute, Zoe Van Gorder) led her Park City High School team all the way to the State 3A Championship game this fall and led the team in scoring...she scored a number of goals during the state playoffs to propel her team to the final. Hanna played with Zoe on the Black Diamond club team coached by Richie Breza. Zoe and Hanna played as freshman with Kelly Isleib on Park City's state champions.

Hanna's mom is from Sweden. And Hanna graduated from Park City this December. She is currently in Malmoe, living with relatives. She is going to school to learn Swedish a bit better and to practice her soccer for this fall. She'll return in April...what a great way to finish high school!

Welcome, Hanna!
